Pregnant after MC due December 14

[Penguin13]

If you're pregnant after a previous MC and due in December 14 this is the thread for you.

If you're an obsessive knicker-checker or just want someone to chat to who knows where you're coming from you'll fit right in.

Congratulations Cakes wonderful news! So glad everything looked good on your scan. Now you've seen a heartbeat at over 7 weeks it massively improves the odds of everything turning out fine. Hooray!

Thanks for the stats Lacey. Interesting reading.

Hi Ladies,

Sorry I wish I could be positive but I still so don't feel pregnant, scan is next wednesday I'll be 8 weeks. Even though I'm convinced there is nothing there, bad news would still be devastating. Consultant said my mmc was bad luck and that I had good chances this time, I am aware that age is not on our side though, with my old eggs and DP over 50. I'm not great to be around atm, so much for our 8th anniversary today.

Great news on the scan cakes
president hug, I hope you feel better soon
Lacey fx for tomorrow
penguin thanks for this thread and being so positive and supportive of everyone

Thank you Covent, a hug for you too. Sounds like you very much need one. I also meant to say thank you for your irl vent offer a while back. Sadly I work a little way from where you do, but maybe in our blooming 2nd tris when the weather will be lovely?

Excellent scan news cakes really chuffed for you!

Paranoid I'm sorry you're feeling so down. I've been there and it's not a nice place to be. I really hope you're wrong (like I turned out to be). Big hug for you. One more week to go. Congratulations on your 8 year anniversary. It's sad that you don't really feel in the mood to celebrate but the fact that you're still going strong despite what you've been through is a real achievement. Lastly, thank you for your lovely comment. Totally made me cry in a predictably hormonal pg lady kind of a way

hey everyone I was wondering if anyone who had multiple miscarriages got to have more ultrasounds when they became pregnant again?

Damn, should'nt have looked at those statistics. I'm highrisk for almost everything. Freaking out a bit now again.

paranoid i know how you feel lovely. Dp is 47 so we're both pushing our luck. Best of luck for the scan next week.

cakes congratulations on your good news.

Hi Xkat. regarding extra scans, I had an early one and 7 weeks then the normal 12/20 week ones. Not sure if extra scans are available (and were not offered to me) so interested to hear if anyone else had extra ones - would help the huge wait between the 7 and 12 week one for sure

Wow I wish I hadnt read those statistics! If you add them all up my chance of mc is about 20 times the norm, and even if it sticks the chance of stillbirth is increased by 1300%. Bloody hell. Huge row with dh and cramping already.Sorry to be such a downer but unable to summon up even fake positivity.

Oh dear I'm sorry, should have posted them, but I think I was hoping they would be a bit reassuring. It's all out of our control anyway. Really sorry to have upset anyone, was a stupid idea.

Beer there's no need to pretend you're feeling any different. We all have good and bad days. It totally sucks that the odds are against you but for every one of those bad percentage rates there are some who make it. Are you having any treatment?

Hi xcat. I think it depends a lot on how many and a bit on the policy of the units where you are. Normally early scans seem to be for those specifically with pain or bleeding but in some places anxiety after previous mc is seen as a valid reason. After viability is established I'm not really sure how it goes in terms of extra scans. You may find people who know more on the general pg after mc thread under pregnancy as there are several who are a lot further along.

FX for your scan today Lacey and for you tomorrow President. And anyone else who is getting an early scan. x

Don't worry about it Lacey. I have decided to ignore the statistics anyway. I either am or am not pregnant, and today I appear to be pregnant!

Best of luck for your scan today.

Thanks Annie.

Don't worry Lacey, at 40 I already know that the stats are horrific for me, reading them for the nth time didn't really shock me particularly.

Sorry Lacey, Im a stats geek too normally, I was judt surprised by them. On the plus side it shows just how little we can do to change outcomes.
I hsve a scan booked in the morning, hopefully that will give an answer one way or another. Good ouck to everyone.

All the best for tomorrow Beers.

President at 40 with partners over 40 we've already beaten the stats by getting pregnant in the first place.

Lacey how are you holding up? Will be thinking of you today. Wishing you so much luck.

Troo dat Annie! Although, poor old MrPres is only 38 bless him.

I've just petrified myself even more by reading a study that concluded that older mothers who don't experience ms have a higher risk of early miscarriage. Brilliant. 7+3 and apart from a couple of waves of nausea/gagging at the bins I've had nothing to write home about.

In fact, apart from crushing fatigue, bloathing, and sore boobs, I don't really have any symptoms at all.

I wish I could fast forward to this time tomorrow, I just want to get it all sorted if it's not viable, and get back to normal life.

Hi everyone, sorry I haven't been on since I shared my good news a few days ago. I've given myself a bit of an Internet Ban over Easter as I was driving myself round the bend Googling stuff and looking at threads on here. Good to see some new faces names on here, sorry you are in our position of previous losses.

I can't even make my midwife appt until tomorrow as my GP surgery has just moved to a new 'state of the art' purpose built premises. They moved on 17th April and I keep ringing up and being told 'sorry, the slots for the midwife are not available yet'. Yesterday they promised me I would be able to book an appt tomorrow so fx I won't have to wait too long to actually see her.

Good luck Lacey for today. Have you got anyone going with you to the scan? I always find if I'm on my own I get more worked up and anxious but having someone else (preferable DH) there really helps me.

My symptoms seem to have dropped off a bit now. I don't feel too nauseous and my boobs are ok, just a bit firmer than usual! I am getting quite a lot of trapped wind which is really painful . I still don't really know what my dates are. If I go by the last scan I am 6-7 weeks this week but that means I would have only been 2-3 weeks when I got my BFP. Going by LMP I should be 9 weeks today! I'm still really worried that there is such a difference in these dates. Hoping Midwife will put my mind at rest when I finally get to see her.

President - crushing fatigue, bloating and sore boobs are symptoms! They are the only symptoms I had when I had DD too!

President I'm having the same lack of symptons! Tiredness, big boobs and a growing addiction to Deflatine is about all I've had so far at 6+3.

I have felt rather dizzy and headachey this morning, but I don't know if that's a pregnancy sympton or a cutting-down-on-ADs sympton.

Best of luck for your MW appointment, Mrs. I don't see the difference in dates, though, unless the scan doesn't measure from the date of conception? I had my first scan at 5 weeks LMP and the doc told me I was 3 weeks pregnant, if that's any help?

Heh, I know MrsFtn, but what I'd give for some good old fashioned vomming!

Lacey hope you are ok? Thinking of you and obsessively refreshing

Hi ladies, I've been lurking for ages but not been brave enough to post! I got my BFP over 2 weeks ago, after a mmc in sept 2012 at 13 weeks and a very early mc in feb 2012.

Had an internal scan today as my lovely dr referred me for reassurance. Saw a tiny baby and flickering heartbeat which was amazing as we've never seen a live baby on a scan.. She put me at 6+2 today.

Coincidently I had some brown spotting last night and this morning so I was expecting the worst, we were so shocked to see a heartbeat.. They asked DF if he was going to faint!

The only thing is I'm still worrying now as I've had more brown bleeding since the scan, more than this morning. Could this be down to the internal scan aggravating my cervix a bit? She did have a good prod around to look at my ovaries! If any of you ladies have had brown bleeding..how long did it last? And was there more after a scan?

You'd think I'd be worrying less! Oh and did I mention we're getting married 3 weeks tomorrow.. Eeek ... Must remain calm .

Sorry that was a lot to take in for my first post!
Hope you are all well today and not feeling too rough.. Major hunger and nausea if I don't eat quickly enough here.
Hope your scan went well Lacey.
